MARILYN MONROE

MARILYN MONROE

My way　　　　　　Frank Sinatra

And the now, the end is near;

And so I face the final curtain

My friend, I'll say it clear

I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full.

I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;

And more, much more than this,

I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few;

But then again, too few to mention.

I did what I had to do

And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;

Each careful step along the byway,

And more, much more than this,

I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew

When I bit off more than I could chew.

But through it all, when there was doubt,

I ate it up and spit it out

I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.

I've had my fill; my share of losing

And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way,

“Oh no, oh no not me, I did it my way".

For what is a man, what has he got?

If not himself, then he has naugh

To say the things he truly feels;

And not the words of one who kneels.

The record shows I took the blows -And did it my way!
